2000-500 BC
Egyptians and Babylonians
could compute pythagoreantheorem & area but used“trial & error”; not logicallydeduced; Egyptians usedgeometry for taxing land afterthe Nile flooded each year

600 BC
Thales of Miletus
Greeks:
brought the science ofgeometry from Egyptto Greece. Thales is frequently credited with developing 5 theorems of elementary geometry.

1600 AD
Coordinate Geometry:
Rene Descartes: Made one of the greatest advances in geometry by connecting algebra and geometry. A myth is that he was watching a fly on the ceiling when he conceived of locating points on a plane with a pair of numbers. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that he stayed in bed everyday until 11:00 A.M. Fermat also discovered coordinate geometry, but it's Descartes' version that we use today.

1706 AD
William Jones was the first
to use the π symbol to denote the
periphery (circumference) of a
circle with a diameter of 1.

early 1800’s
Non-Euclidean Geometries
Since mathematicians couldn't prove the 5th postulate, they devised new geometries with "strange" notions of parallelism. (A geometry with no parallel lines?!?) Bolyai and Lobachevsky are credited with devising the first non-euclidean geometries.

late 1800’s – 1900
Differential geometry: combines geometry with the techniques of calculus to provide a method for studying geometry on curved surfaces.
Fractal geometry: geometric figures that model many natural structures like ferns or clouds. The invention of computers has greatly aided the study of fractals since many calculations are required.
